It was all fun and games against Dominican Republic, which is like a very good high school team, no disrespect to DR.

Goes against some Brazil Balls and look what happens.

I don't think the Knicks should have built around Carmelo, but that's what they've done and now we will live with it. I don't think he's a player you build around because he doesn't play two ends of the court, he has to save his donut energy for putting up 50 shots a game.

I saw an interesting post on a very good blog, but I do not remember where this blog is, and this post was discussing "Star" players. The conclusion was that many guys you think are "Stars" are just bums that take a lot of shots. I believe that Melo falls in this category. He is a fugazy star who appears better than he really is because of the number of shots he takes. If you take a lot of shots, you will score a good amount of points, and that's Melo's biggest upside, that's his strength. If that's a guy's strength, then the guy is a bum.

I don't believe he will lead the Knicks out of the First Round unless they meet a really weak team, but they will struggle.

It's funny, guys used to get on MDA because his "system couldn't win a championship", but MDA had 5 times the post-season success that Melo has had. I think it's the Melo system that will not lead us anywhere.

Can Melo play with Amar'e? I think it's been proven that he can't. Amar'e is a turtle shell of his former self and we are seeing his negative emotions manifest in fire extinguisher punching, twitter name calling, things like that.

A full season, even if it was shortened, plus the 20 or 30 games after the trade, that's plenty of time to see if something will work or not. I'm not buying the "need more time" thing. In reality, you can see if some pairing will work together very quickly. If it hasn't happened, it won't happen.

Quality, strong points made.

Fugazy is a strong word, but at this point of his career, Melo is in fugazy mode. Needs to go Kobe status and lead the Knicks out of the first round atleast.

Did melo **** your mom, or are you just a closeted homosexual that is fighting off your throbbing passion for him. We should get Starbury in here just to see how really suspect you are..

It's ok. Whatever it is we are here to help you overcome your psychological shortcomings. Even though we are basketball fans, we are human beings that will help you get past this.

There must be some reason you still post here. You even said that you will stop watching, even following basketball, and that you would focus on soccer now that Jeremy Lin is gone. It just makes me wonder why you are still here. You really aren't saying much. You either say "Melo bad" or "Lin good" in all of your posts. It's actually pretty funny though, because most of the time you say those two statements, then put it in to some long ass paragraph that makes no sense in the first place.

I hope you achieve your life goal of becoming a mod in a forum where you aren't interested in the sport or the team. That would make this forum so hilarious haha

He had a lot of excuses the first year he was here. Billups went down with the injury, Amar'e got hurt, half-season, no time to gel, etc.

He had a lot of excuses the second year too. Amar'e played like ass, no PG, and so on.

But this is the year. Grunwald has covered as many holes in the roster as he possibly could. We didn't have PG play, now we have 2 playmakers. We have a better bench, and good backups for our frontcourt. They're going to get a full training camp and a season that isn't condensed.

If Melo doesn't lead this team to the Conference Finals this year, he will get booed harder than Alex Rodriguez has EVER been. Many fans will still cling to the idea that it was Carmelo who ran Jeremy Lin out of town (not true, it was Dolan and his stupid ass ego, but whatever), and for that reason, if he doesn't play his ass off this year, he's never going to hear the end of it.
